You guys and your guns...

[Coito ergo sum]

Yep, about 95% of the people I killed weren't even in this time zone.

Well, we all know who gets killed in wars. Mostly innocent women and children.

I think "mostly" is an overstatement. But, if your point being is that innocent women and children are killed, then yes, indeed they are. Too many of them.

But funnily enough, you never get veterans bragging about the innocent children that they killed.

Strange that those two facts don't match, isn't it?

That is likely because the vast majority of veterans never had any desire to kill women, or children, or men. So, it stands to reason that they would not brag.

Give an 19 year old kid a radio and 16 fully-laden B-52s and ask him how many women and children he killed that day.

I've never bragged about killing kids, they're no challenge. I did write here about killing a kid about 13-14 years old because some asshole give him a rifle and put him on sentry duty without any training. That kind of shit happens in war time.

Yeh right, except that that's just more batman fantasy. Only bad men get killed.

I don't believe you. I go on evidence, and that tells me who mostly got killed by the heroic veterans. Innocent women, children and the elderly. You might be able to wipe it from your conscious, but don't expect me to swallow that bullshit.
If you are part of that army, you helped kill all those kids.
Perhaps I am a coward, perhaps not. But I've never taken part in genocide either. And if I had, I wouldn't be bragging about it years later.

Remember, if the Merkins invade somewhere, and a kid gets shot, it's the kids fault for being in a war zone. Dumb kid!

Wow.... just.... wow....

I think it is very sad that both mistermack and Seth go over the top with insulting and objectionable language. I am sure that both have valid points to make in the debate. However, most people, including myself, dismiss the arguments immediately, and there is a tendency to call them idiots (I am sure they are not) simply because it is hard to get past that awful language.

Now, especially for Seth. I am happy to address your arguments if you would care to rephrase them in a courteous form more suitable for debate. Otherwise, I will ignore them under the assumption they are worthless.

Very, very true...

Especially the tendency to call them idiots...

However, like any normal distribution curve, each extreme end is tiny and rather unimportant in the scheme of things...

Remember, if the Merkins invade somewhere, and a kid gets shot, it's the kids fault for being in a war zone. Dumb kid!

Thank god we have the Brits to look up to because they never killed a child during war. And if one did I'm sure he at least shed a tear.

Sometimes the kid isn't "innocent".
Ever watch Good Morning Viet Nam?

No no. Merkins are bloodthirsty by nature. Nothin' better than baggin' a young 'un. It's an honor to receive the Congressional Medal of Infanticide. Lesser medals are awarded for Toddlercide, Prolicide, etc. But, the ever-coveted "Silver Jailbait Star", well, that is really the most sought after medal.

If you carefully define an enemy combatant to be "anyone in our designated war zone that we shot" then you could probably claim never to have killed a civilian.

You seldom have time for careful definition. I know non-combatants have died due to my actions. I have to live with that.

Wonder if drones can be awarded medals.....

Who defines enemy combatant that way? The British?

Yes, when the RAF pilots controlled drones in Libya, I wouldn't be surprised if they received medals from Her Royal Hindass
